The understanding of mantle convection is one of the most puzzling problems of modern
geophysics. Among the different approaches used by geophysicists to investigate mantle …

The title" Geophysical constraints on mantle flow and melt generation beneath mid-ocean
ridges" can be interpreted in two ways: either as observational constraints on models, or as …

Structural geologists are well aware of the fact that isotropic rocks are quite exceptional in
nature. Whicheverorigin, sedimentary, metamorphicormagmatic, rocks are shaped with a …

How cratons—extremely stable continental areas of the Earth's crust—formed and remained
largely unchanged for more than 2,500 million years is much debated. Recent studies of …

We describe a method to invert surface wave dispersion data for a model of shear velocities
with uncertainties in the crust and uppermost mantle. The inversion is a multistep process …

A data set of 2600 paths for Rayleigh waves and 2170 paths for Love waves enabled us to
retrieve three‐dimensional distributions of different seismic parameters. Shallow layer …

Elasticity is described in general by a fourth-order tensor with 21 independent coefficients,
which corresponds to the triclinic symmetry class. However seismological observations are …

Convective flow in the mantle and the motions of tectonic plates produce deformation of
Earth's interior, and the rock fabric produced by this deformation can be discerned using the …

Accurately inferring the radially anisotropic structure of the mantle using seismic waveforms
requires correcting for the effects of crustal structure on waveforms. Recent studies have …

A data set of 2600 paths for Rayleigh waves and 2170 paths for Love waves was selected in
order to resolve azimuthal anisotropy of surface waves in the period range 70–250 s. The …
